COURSE OVERVIEW
- Our culture seeks to destroy the family. Men are encouraged to be weak. They fall into the dopamine addictions of social media, pornography, alcohol, procrastination, and ultimately become complacent. Men are far removed from the land their ancestors toiled on: The land that God created for them. Gone are the days of great saints, who in rugged monastic habits traveled the earth and converted millions. Far removed are we from the warrior martyrs of old who died defending the Faith. The battle is still waging for souls and our forces are scattered. It is time to regain control of our lives and take back our spiritual roles. It is time to restore society. It is time for God's men to Triumph.
- Men will attend a Saturday training workshop where they will learn a VERY BROAD overview of a variety of skills our culture has failed to teach men:
- Boxing
- Martial arts as self defense
- Leather craft
- Oil and tire Changing
- Welding
- Contemplative prayer
- Men will work in teams assigned by their skillsets and compete against one another, learning the value of brotherhood. There will be some emphasis on physical fitness, but it is only to one's own capacity. There will be a "Bring Sally Up" pushup contest!
- To give you an idea of this course, with around 40 men at the last course, we covered a variety of topics including wilderness survival, camping, platoon movements, homesteading, home repair/renovation, home defense, mission planning, chainsawing trees, trauma/medical care, investing/budgeting, parenting, and more.
- Men suggested topics for future courses such as: blacksmithing, auto care, stone masonry, carpentry, bushcraft, timber framing, plowing, plumbing, roofing, drywall, electrical work, cooking, livestock raising, stained glass making, crop rotations, hunting, butchering, weight training, martial arts, and more.
